I’m not a fan of the border or the big “WALT DISNEY SIGNATURE COLLECTION” sticker, so I assumed that’s what it was about.

Maybe the ‘The’ inside the ‘O’ of ‘Lion’?

Yes, the style and placement of the title. The poster art is nice.

And yeah coffee, I agree. The Movies Anywhere packaging is obnoxious.

So now it’s 1986?

Much worse.

But there’s much more cocaine wildly available, so it can’t be TOO much worse.

Even though I’m not a ST movie fan, the IV poster is so 80’s I gotta love it. It’s so cheesy and you’re not certain if it’s ugly or pretty which makes it better than it is.

It makes me wonder why they select such hideous cover art when it would presumably be cheaper just to use existing poster art, which often looks far superior. I don’t get it. What corporate focus group thinks that Batman Returns of all things would sell better if it had that as its artwork?

Are there ever rights issues with original art? Or does the studio always own the rights in perpetuity?

Since they are comissions, I’d say the latter. Many studios even sell them as posters commercially and they are always copyrighted to the studio.
